LSU "Air Conditioned Helmets" for 2023 Season

[TAF]

 

[SpookyAction]

That could be a big deal in September games.
We need them for the Swamp.

 

[LouderVol]

Amazing idea. I might pay for one myself

 

[Volfanstucknga]

Awe how sweet. Dick Butkus shakes his head.

Yeah, that'd be funny from a guy that played his entire football life in the super hot muggy state of Illinois. L O L

 

[LouderVol]

I was thinking it could be used in a way that keeps the blue-hairs happy. during conditioning/camps you wear the normal helmet. But during game weeks you get the nice AC ones to keep you fresher. that way you are prepared in the heat, but then get better performance come game day.

I mean, can they handle the wear and tear of helmets banging together through an entire season and the air conditioner in the helmet still work. Curious

Yes

People like money. If they are of value, every major school will have them.

 

[JohnnyJava]

Anyone else imagining that it is Seth Rogen who is showing this helmet to the players?

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Yeah we're gonna need those.

 

[FlyFishnVol]

Actually, studies have shown that AC helmets reduce reaction time and cause headaches.

 

[BruisedOrange]

Yeah... I don' know...

What happens when one part of your body is a lot cooler than the other? Cooler vessels are gonna constrict, right? So, now, in the course of the game, you've got less blood flowing to your brain than to the rest of your body??

Oh.

Guess that's why they chose to promote them at LSU.

Like I said...

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Looks like a gimmick

 

[onevol74]

Didn’t you hey try some kind of fluid cooled vest several years ago? IIRC Bill Bates was somehow involved with them. I think they demonstrated them in a game that Tim Tebow played against Hoover.

 

[BruisedOrange]

Like I said...

Haha--we were typing those posts at the same time. Cool. Orange brains think alike.

 

[VolNExile]

No…

Your body gains and loses a lot of heat from your scalp. One of the first aid steps for heat prostration is cold, wet cloths on the head (also, neck, armpits, and groin.) Blood vessels are right under the skin surface.

Your brain is under your skull. Temp changes on your scalp aren’t going to have a huge effect on blood flow to your brain.

If this reduces heat injuries in late summer practices, it seems like a good thing.

 

[GrayWaterCanine]

My understanding is that these only circulate enough air to get the corndog smell out of the helmet.

 

[DonDiego]

Attention hazmat team: Freon leak clean-up on the 40 yard line please

An air conditioned jock strap would be even better.

 

[chuck0303]

An air conditioned jock strap would be even better.

Hmmmmmm, A/C helmets for golfers--I like it. Would be good in the heat in South Texas.

 

[SpookyAction]

An air conditioned jock strap would be even better.

Your groin has a different reaction to the cold than mine.

 

[VolNExile]

Your groin has a different reaction to the cold than mine.

I was wondering about that one…

 

[GoVols1998Yeah!]

That's great until the compressor kicks on while the QB is sharing the play.
